Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Have you ever had a moment where you think, why am I like this? I mean, you're doing fine, you're functioning, you're successful, and yet somehow one email. One comment, one conflict with somebody, and suddenly you are flooded with emotions. You're reactive, you're triggered, or you completely shut down.

Or maybe you're wondering, why is my spouse like this? Why do they shut down? Why do they get triggered? Why are they so strict or clingy or they're such a perfectionist? Well, today.

And before you go, okay, no, no, no, I I haven't had trauma, I want you to listen to this because it is going to explain so much about who you are and who some of the people that you love deeply are right now in your adult life. Dr. Nadine Burke Harris is going to teach you that this kind of behavior where you're so emotionally reactive or you shut down or you get triggered by the easiest thing, it is a neurological and biological pattern that started in childhood.
